WAYDTGKU: All the things!
R/R/CS: test line getting darker.... Hope to ovulate before Halloween!!!! We are hosting a party that night and I'll be stressed so I don't want to be worried about Oing too!!
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? That's tough! Between Thanksgiving and Christmas,... Love the food and shopping associated with thanksgiving but I do love Christmas. It's nice to see family for both. I'll say Christmas with Thanksgiving as a close second!!!
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: All things. I got a basal thermometer last night! Took my first temp this AM.
R/R/CS: I don't really have anything to rave about. Once I actually get something going on my chart I'll have you ladies CS. Not feeling like this is the month, just due to not sure when I'm Oing. We've BD the last two days just in case the CM I experienced was the EWCM. But now that I'm temping, I'm quite excited to actually KNOW!
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why?
I LOVE christmas. I love the smells, the food, and just the overall happiness of everyone around me. Only downfall of any holiday is the constant running around!

R/R/CS: nothing right now, except I'm on day 3 of remembering to temp lol, whoever gave me the alarm idea is a genius. ^:)^
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? I like Christmas and St. Patrick's day the best. Christmas because just the time of the year is the best and I get to spend it with my family. I love St. Patrick's Day because my family is Irish and we always have a huge dinner party that night, love

WAYDTGKU: All the things including temping
R/R/CS: I think my body is back on track post progesterone challenge. Definitely seeing what appears to be EWCM yesterday. Not sure I'm the best at temping though. I wake up really slowly before my alarm and lay there (sad it's time to get up!). I then roll over to temp about 5 mins later. Also, different waking times and cold weather are probably throwing me off. I'll keep doing it, just not sure if I'm
seeing a shift...
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why?
Christmas! Jesus' birthday, work slows down, good food, pretty decorations, great music and family time. Love it!

WAYDTGKU: temping and charting, pnv and as soon as AF leaves, sex as much as possible
R/R/CS: **loss mentioned** I've never been so happy to see AF. First time since my d&c, so now we are officially un-benched! (Is that even a word?)
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? I'll be typical and say Christmas. I love the smell of Christmas trees and food and seeing the twinkling lights.

WAYDTGKU: opks, bbt, preseed, trying to BD during FW
R/R/CS: Got another high temp today. Just need one more and should get crosshairs for Tuesday. Waiting this long to O stinks.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving. I worked retail for 10 years and now work a bank job. So I used to dread the holidays. Now I get to cook with my mom and eat with my family instead of sleeping all day in preparation for Black Friday. I love it.

WAYDTGKU: all the usual things
R/R/CS: No temp spike this morning. I'm not sure if it's the temperatures dropping outside messing with my temps, or the less crazy version where I haven't actually O'd yet. Lol.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? New Years. My birthday is New Year's Eve! But Christmas is very close. I really just love the whole season.

WAYDTGKU: the usual... Got sneak attacked by DH this morning. If nothing else I appreciate his enthusiasm this cycle.
R/R/CS: all good!
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why?
I really love the period of time from Thanksgiving to Christmas. Everyone is so happy and the snow has usually started. It's filled with family and friend gatherings and lots of merriment!
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: all the things possible.
R/R/CS: Not much to rant about. My temps still seem a little weird but I'm just waiting a few more days to confirm O. It usually happens today.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? I love Christmas and St. Patrick's Day. Christmas is my favorite because I love the whole holiday season, the lights, the decoration, and the mood everyone is in around Christmas. I love St. Patrick's Day because DH and I have a tradition where we take that day off from work, I make green pancakes and Guinness for breakfast, we go watch the parade downtown, and then we go to a few Irish pubs and listen to the bands playing. Its just a fun day, plus green is my favorite color so any day I can wear green from head to toe and not look like a crazy woman is a good day to me.

R/R/CS: I didn't realize my husband would get stressed out about BD during my FW and now regret telling him that I was ovulating. We still got the job done but I think I'll keep the next FW to myself.
GTKY: I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the holiday baking that goes along with it!
@Megzb510 looks like we are in the exact same boat! One more high temp and Tuesday will be the day.
Month/cycle: 5/5

WAYDTGKU: technically nothing cause as of right now I'm annovulatory so I guess we're just doing everything for fun. Sorry. I'm super cranky today
R/R/CS: see above. I've having such a cranky week and this who annovulatory thing is really making me mad today in particular for some reason. Started re temping yesterday and today and unlike my oral temps, only a .1 degree difference!!!!! CELEBRATION TIME!
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why?
When I live near home, it was Christmas or 4th of July and they're still the hardest for me to be away from family for. But since living abroad thanksgiving has become my favorite. Every year we have a huge multi-cultural thanksgiving bash with delicious American fixings! It's such a fun occasion for expats to get together

R/R/CS: so slow
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why?
Christmas. I love the decorations!
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Temping, prenatals, Metformin, CM/CP, starting OPKs and BD EOD at CD 10, eating super healthy, exercising...so pretty much everything! I also read a study about herbal teas during TTC so am going to avoid chamomile because I usually have one cup everyday.
R/R/CS: AF has left so excited to start trying again. Took a few days of The Bump because I was in a bad mood CD 1-4 and feeling very frustrated with this process. I re-read the section of "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant" about the emotional side of TTC and I feel a lot better.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? I love Christmas! I usually get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, so we have lots of time to spend with family. I love all of the treats, music, decorations, and that everyone is in a great mood!
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK's, just waiting to O.
R/R/CS: So, for many years now I've woken up at least once a night to go pee. Often more than once a night. I knew it would cause issues with temping, which stressed me out, but I just figured I'd have to deal with it. Well, for the past two nights, I made sure to not drink or eat anything past 8 p.m.... and I didn't wake up until my alarm went off in the morning. I mean, this isn't rocket science, but I'm surprised (and happy!) it was that easy for me to stop waking up in the middle of the night! Also, since I discarded the first temp I ever took (which was crazy low (96.something), now I only have one open circle, so that makes me happy! Really really hoping I 1) O this cycle and 2) can tell when it happens!
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? Christmas!!! I love waking up with H, making a good breakfast and drinking mimosas while we open gifts under our tree. The first Xmas we were together I definitely missed waking up with my sisters at my mom's house, but ever since then H has become the only person I want to enjoy Xmas morning with.
Month/cycle: 1
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: Back in the game, whew!
R/R/CS: I was super sweet to H yesterday and I cooked him one of his favorite meals to try and cheer him up. I don't know if he was just feeling better anyway or if what I did helped but we totes did the sex last night. Woo! My question is that while I was taking my temp at 5:30 this AM, I nearly went back to sleep and the thermometer almost fell out of my mouth. The temp was 97.04 which is a huge dip from my spike yesterday. I re-took it because it just didn't seem right and then it was 97.43. I put the second temp in FF because that first one seemed like a fluke. Is that what you guys would have done?? If I get one more elevated temp tomorrow, I get CH for Tuesday. I have all the other secondary signs so I'm hoping that was the right thing to do.

CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, OPKs, sex ED for the next few days
R/R/CS: H and I both fell asleep at like 9pm last night immediately after DS was in bed, so last night was a no go even though I planned on ED starting yesterday. So trying again today. I need to O on a Monday or something because we are just so tired during the week and don't really have alone time until DS is asleep obviously. But my expected O date is Saturday or Sunday so need to make it work if we want good timing. I know it only takes once, but I'd rather have lots.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving because all the food. Can't wait!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, FX I O this month (first cycle off BCP)
R/R/CS: I'm starting to freak out about the possibility that this might take months. No idea what my body is capable of, I can only hope my CM indicates good things. I also can't take my temps too seriously or read into them too much since a) this is first month off BCP and b) still waiting on actual reliable thermometer in the mail. OPKs are in the mail too though and should arrive any day now! Hopefully that will help indicate things this cycle. Ideally I would POAS today... just going to HIO either way.

WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: I thiiiiiink I finally O'd. My gut tells me it was Tuesday evening/night because my face started breaking out yesterday (I think that's how I respond to progesterone), but my temp Wednesday morning wasn't that much higher than it's been.. just slightly higher than the last two days... So, what do ya'll think? I'm really hoping I O'd on Tuesday because that would give me a 9 day LP; but if it was yesterday, then I get 8 day LP. I feel like every extra day counts when it's this short...
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? I used to love Halloween the most, but now that I'm older I think my favorite might be NYE. We usually go out for dinner and drink champagne.
CD: 17
R/R/CS: I have dotted CH's for CD13, but I'm hanging out here because I don't trust them. I was traveling and had a cold last week/early this week, so I think it may have messed with my chart a bit.
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving. I love being with family and eating yummy food
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Waiting on AF to GTFO. But, considering I haven't had a real period in 12 years, and my cycle normalized in a little more than a month... I'm grateful for this. I had visions of 6 months waiting to be ABLE to try!
R/R/CS: Rant- we hired this 22 year old bright eyed bushy tailed kid in my office. Now I feel OLD. Old old old. I know I'm not, but it's putting pressure on my need to TTC. Tick - Tock....
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? New Years! I love a fresh start, and it's the one night a year DH and I go out partying. Or maybe Halloween, chocolate and cute kids in costumes, a getting to have a chat with all my neighbors? so. much. fun.

I attached my chart. This was my first cycle temping and I started orally. That's the super jagged peaks and valleys in the beginning. I stopped when I realized I was a mouth breather. I thought it was pretty pointless to be temping if the temps werent indicative or reliable. Also, believing I had already ovulated based on secondary symptoms and thinking I'd start if I needed to next cycle. Low and behold NO ovulation, still no period and so far 2 bfns!
I decided to start temping again now just to get back in the habit and maybe establish a cover line or at least know when af may show.
Eta. The first day I temped I was super restless. But both last night and this morning I was awoken from a deep sleep so I'm excited they're so close and that at least I'm on the right track!!!!
Month/cycle: 6
CD: 11!
WYDTGKU: All of the things! Finally! Started OPKs this week and BD EOD starting today hopefully.
R/R/CS: was having pretty fertile CM and it turned sticky now but my temps are still low and getting negatives on opk so I'm guessing it was just a fertile patch that will hopefully come back (chart attached)
GTKY: What's your favorite holiday and why? Christmas - I really enjoy buying presents for other people and watching their reactions when they open them
